    Wait what??

    I created an account after this episode (and yes I know I'm late, but read it to know why).

    I am binge watching The Flash on Netflix right now.. I have watched Arrow but because of Netflix I am not caught up.

    I live in Europe and depend on Netflix when I watch my shows, buuut Netflix does not have every show and the once they have are not all caught up exept Legends Of Tomorow wich I don't watch because I don't want spoilers from Arrow and Flash (love both shows).

    I tried a few (maybe 5) episodes of Supergirl, but that show is not for me... but with this episode of Flash i feel that the creators are trying to force me to watch the other shows.. witch even if I wanted to, I can't cause I don't live in America...

    I love cross overs I really do, but like this... to continue it in a whole other show and then another... nope..

    So I have to rate this much lower that I would have, if it had an ending or the next episode was on The Flash..

    Holy f#&@ing s&#t

    The only thing I need to do right now is slow clap.. My expectations weren't high because Arrow has been going downhill and Supergirl and the Legends are really bad, but this episode was amazing and they totally pulled this crossover thing off. I also loved how they fitted the Flashpoint storyline in there and Barry's message from the future. Looking forward to the next one P.S.: There's no need to watch Supergirl S02E08.. It has nothing to do with the crossover and it was boring as hell

    Seriously I don't have anything else to say but I need to pass 10 lines so that my review can be submitted.. Is it OK now IMDb??? Is it long enough??

    Amazing (Crossover wise)

    Amazing episode. It is so exciting to see all of the superheroes/supergirl's team be united this way!I won't say best episode because for me the best episode of this season so far was last week's (episode 7) episode. There is only one thing that I didn't like - it is Cisco's attitude towards Barry. He is taking it way too hard on Barry.I can understand that he is angry but come on Barry suffered a lot too!How does it feel to know that even if you have power you have watch your mom die in front of you. He sacrificed his own happiness in season 1 final episode and did not change the timeline (may be Cisco didn't remember it?) Watching your father die in front you season 2 was too much pain to handle and he did made a mistake but wasn't he punished for it too when he have to beg his worst enemy to kill his mother AGAIN!!!I don't know much about comic books but I watch this show mostly because of Grant Gustin's Barry Allen and one of the attraction of this show is the bond between Barry/Caitlin/Cisco (which seems to be damaged permanently) so it is very hard to see the treatment Cisco is giving Barry right now :(

    • Trivia
      The image of the STAR Labs Hall and Hangar building that supposedly becomes the Hall of Justice was a CGI manipulation of photos of the old Union Station in Cincinnati, Ohio. The former train station (now a museum) was the inspiration for the Hall of Justice in the original 70's Super Friends (1973) cartoon. When Barry tells Thea he owns the hall and hanger, she tells him he should do something with it which might foreshadow a CW version of "Justice League".
    • Goofs
      When Barry introduces Supergirl and she levitates to prove her alien nature, she also uses her heat vision to burn her family crest into the floor behind the rest of the team. No one looks at what she's doing, only looking at her, which they should as, from their positions, her heat vision would have had to cut through Professor Stein. The heat-vision effect was added in post and not originally scripted. Later in story-time, Barry has to explain Kara's heat vision to Oliver quickly in battle, which he should know from the aforementioned introduction. Complicated by that explanation being depicted twice.
